Description
The automatic ZoneBraker Touchscreen Multi-Zone Snow and Ice Melting Controller is a high-tech yet intuitive option for controlling your electric snow melting system. The device allows for zoned control of the heating system. This means the total heating coverage can be broken into 4 separate zones (1 zone per contactor for each of the 4 contactors).
These zones can then be "turned on" independently. Zoned control like this means that the ZoneBraker can be used to operate a larger heating system since only one zone will be turned on at a time, which reduces the total power load. This is particularly useful for big projects where available amperage may be limited, like larger driveways or walkways.
The ZoneBraker also allows for users to easily set custom operational times for each zone in case an area of the outdoor surface needs to run (such as the bottom of a sloped driveway where accumulated runoff can be evaporated with a longer runtime).
The ZoneBraker is easy-to-use with its intuitive touchscreen operation along with in-screen access to FAQs and a troubleshooting guide.
This control comes with an upper-limit temperature sensor that will be embedded in the outdoor surface along with the heating elements. This is a supplemental sensor that will help save energy and running costs during operation.
The ZoneBraker does require the use of either a Snow Melt Aerial Sensor (sold separately, SKU: AIR-SS-2) or a Pavement Snow and Ice Sensor Kit (sold separately, SKU: SC-SS-PAV-6E-KIT) to enable automatic control.
Features:
- Comes with 4 contactors and can control up to 4 separate zones

Each zone may be activated for any length of time. No two applications are the same. You can start with 10 minutes and adjust up to 59 minutes per zone, and through trial and error, find the optimum zone durations for the best operation of your system.
Yes. When more than one sensor is used, any positive activation by either of the sensors will activate the controller.
For example, the AIR-SS-2 aerial sensor and the SC-SS-PAV-6E-KIT slab sensor can be connected simultaneously for increased reliability.
